       Hi,

while compiling glibc with gcc12, I get a warning saying that sigmask is
deprecated. Should we care?

For what it's worth, the sigvec(3) manual page has since 2005 said:

       These functions are provided in glibc as a compatibility interface
       for programs that make use of the historical BSD signal API.  This
       API is obsolete: new applications should use the POSIX signal  API
       (sigaction(2), sigprocmask(2), etc.).

Cheers,

Michael
